Easter song


It's Easter Day
And God's alive again
And that makes me real happy

The grass is green
There are some real nice flowers
And the trees are really sappy 

Easter time's a time to celebrate
A time to recognize the miracle of birth
And Easter eggs are given to remind us
That God will always be here on Earth

And that Cadbury still make the best chocolate
And that rabbits really must be fucking shot
And that eating hot cross buns makes you shit a little more
And if the eggs are tiny, you can hide them up your twat

'Cause Easter time's important, a special time of year
The Christians dust their Bibles off and bash their kiddies round the ears
As if a body on a crucifix will help to soothe their fears
But they should just get pissed on the blood of Christ
And hide Easter eggs up their rears

'Cause Easter eggs are perfectly designed for human bums
The way they're just as smooth and slightly smaller at the top
The special chocolate flavour makes for many hours of fun
Depending on the type of tongue you've got

Because bringing yourself pleasure I believe is really great
You can eat or drink or bungee jump or laugh or masturbate
But there's nothing quite so heavenly
There is no diviner state
Than having eternal rebirth up your date

So the moral of this story is —
The moral of this story is that on this Easter Day
As you're revelling in God's wondrous Easter sun
Is regardless of your gender or if you're straight or gay
It's great to have some choccy up your bum

So grab an Easter egg and hide it where it can't be found
Give a friend a hint and let them search around
And revel in the godliness of funny taste and sounds
And thank the Lord that Easter eggs are...

Brown.

Bedroom eyes


I can't resist you no matter how I try
After all this time can't believe that I'm
About to take this ride 
Said it was over, decided we were through
I convinced myself that somebody else could take the place of you

You're part of me, my one obsession 
And from this power you possess I need protection
When you're staring straight through me
With those eyes, those bedroom eyes 
I'm lost for words, so hypnotized
I can feel it in my heart, it's about to start 
With those eyes, those bedroom eyes

I made a promise to myself that I would
Erase you from my mind, leave the past behind
Be done with you for good, but then I saw you I knew that I had lied
I thought of just how much I crave your touch to keep me satisfied

You're part of me my one obsession 
And from this power you possess I need protection

When you're staring straight through me 
With those eyes (eyes) I must admit (ooh) I'm not surprised
I can feel it in my heart (feel it in my heart) it's about to start
With those eyes (ooh) those bedroom eyes

You're a part of me, my one obsession I need you
And from this power you possess, I need protection, hey what can I do
There is no reason to lose my sight
As long as I can see myself reflected in those eyes

Bedroom eyes (eyes) those bedroom eyes (eyes) 
I'm lost for words (ooh) so hypnotized
When you stare into my soul (stare into my soul) I lose all control
Too those eyes (ooh) those bedroom eyes

Bedroom eyes (eyes) those bedroom eyes (eyes)
I must admit (ooh) I'm not surprised
I can feel it in my heart (feel it in my heart) it's about to start
With those eyes (ooh) those bedroom eyes

Yeah oh no no no no no no no no those bedroom eyes
Make me feel it in my soul (ooh ooh yeah) da da da hey
Ooh dee yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
My obsession, my obsession, my obsession

The universe and her, and I

Love is the moon and the sun
the stars and 
the sea
the elder couple in 
the coffee shop smiling after
all these broken
wonderful years

Love is not our romance
with technology
as if we were made 
from wires and screens

The sun

This sun featured in a weather report, when the local TV station came to my kids' school. Sun by my 11 year old daughter.

The man with the blue guitar

Excerpt:

The man bent over his guitar,
A shearsman of sorts. The day was green.

They said, "You have a blue guitar,
You do not play things as they are."

The man replied, "Things as they are 
Are changed upon the blue guitar."

And they said then, "But play, you must,
A tune beyond us, yet ourselves,

A tune upon the blue guitar
Of things exactly as they are."

Can't get you out of my head



La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

La la la
La la la la la

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

Every night
Every day
Just to be there in your arms

Won't you stay
Won't you lay
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy it's more than I dare to think about

There's a dark secret in me
Don't leave me locked in your heart

Set me free
Feel the need in me
Set me free
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of my head...
